Washington and Tehran return to dialogue: new round of nuclear talks scheduled in Rome on April 19
According to Bloomberg sources, the talks are to coincide with a visit to Italy by US Vice President Jay Dee Vance, although it is unclear whether he will participate in them.
Last week, a meeting was held in Muscat, the capital of Oman, between President Donald Trump's chief envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Both sides described the talks as constructive and agreed to continue the dialogue.
Witkoff told Araghchi that he had received instructions from Trump to "resolve the differences between our two countries through dialogue and diplomacy, if possible."
Iran's currency and shares rose on Sunday in response to the parties' statements of intent to continue negotiations.
A statement from the Iranian Foreign Ministry said that amid growing diplomatic momentum around the talks, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi is expected to visit Tehran on Wednesday.

Tehran - Saba: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced on Sunday that the Deputy Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Massimo Aparo, will arrive in Tehran tomorrow, stressing: "There is no plan to visit any site unless a framework is reached." In a statement to reporters on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting, Araghchi said: "There will be no visit to any site before a framework is reached, and cooperation will not begin. This framework will be based on the law of the Shura Council." Regarding contacts between Iran and the Europeans, he explained: "Our contacts with the Europeans are ongoing. They raised the issue of the immediate restoration of sanctions (the trigger mechanism), and our position is that this mechanism is no longer relevant. From our perspective, Europe is not considered a party to the nuclear agreement. There are, of course, technical and legal discussions, and my colleagues are in contact with the Europeans, but no date has been set for any next round of negotiations."
